See 'On Your Feet' at Overture in May

Bethany Schuler

Connect with AARP Wisconsin staff, volunteers and other members for special discounted performances of “On Your Feet! The Story of Emilio & Gloria Estafan” on Thursday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 20, at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at The Overture Center for the Arts, 201 State St., Madison.

From their humble beginnings in Cuba, Emilio and Gloria Estefan came to America and broke through all barriers to become a crossover sensation at the very top of the pop music world. But just when they thought they had it all, they almost lost everything.

“On Your Feet” takes you behind the music and inside the real story of this record-making and groundbreaking couple who, in the face of adversity, found a way to end up on their feet.

Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell ( Kinky Boots), with choreography by Olivier Award winner Sergio Trujillo ( Jersey Boys) and an original book by Academy Award winner Alexander Dinelaris ( Birdman), “On Your Feet” features some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter-century – and one of the most inspiring stories in music history.

AARP members and their guests will enjoy discounts off full-priced tickets and handling fees for these performances. You can obtain your discounted tickets online at www.overture.org/events or by calling 608-258-4159. Discount purchases can be made using the discount code FUN50. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Overture Center for the Arts ticket window during normal business hours.
